Care and maintenance
In the interest of permanent operational readiness, the following measures are
essential:
• Each time the device is subjected to a load, but at least once a year,
the equipment and the accessories must be visually inspected.
Special attention must be paid to spreader tips, joints, blades, hoses,
and coupling halves.
• Every three years, or if there are doubts about the safety or reliability
of the equipment, functional testing and stress testing must also be
carried out (according to DGUV 305-002 or country-specific guidelines).
• After every loading, the lubrication of the movable parts
and pins must be inspected and sprayed with a suitable grease.
• The hydraulic oil in the cutting and combi tools must be completely
replaced every three years.
